Meme Recycling 2012

It’s fascinating to see how the same ‘funny’ (worth a discussion…) pics, lolcats, mashups, facepalms and memes rotate in the net. But let’s put things in the right order:
reddit -> imgur -> 9gag -> facebook -> blogs

After some time things are reposted to reddit and everything starts again…

Chololi - Tell her about it! Her Nose Hair...

Are you afraid to tell your friends that their vibrissae are revolting? Is it the right thing to do? Or is it impolite? Will they thanky you or never talk to you again? Well, now you can tell them anonymously by using the brand new webservice “Chololi”!

Quote: “When you just happened to notice that your friend or girlfriend/boyfriend’s nostril hairs are showing from their nose, were you able to tell them “Hey, your nostril hairs are showing. Why don’t you pull them out?”
Especially when that happens to be a lady’s, it quite difficult to tell them so. For all people who are thoughtful and in a difficult position, we give you “Chorori” the deputy service for notification about nostril hairs.”

Hmm… Suddenly “I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy, saggy, shaggy, ratty, matty, oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen, knotted, polka-dotted, twisted, beaded, braided, powdered, flowered and confettied; bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!” comes to my mind…

Visit Chorori or Chololi. Whatever.

Sophie, Willoughby's "Girl in Blue"

Over 20,000 people live in Willoughby, Lake County, Ohio nowadays. It’s located at the Lake Erie, near to Canada. (Link). It was founded 1789 by brave David Abbott and baptized “Willoughby” in honor of Doc Willoughby Jr. The Willoughbians hoped to attract the interest of their namesake who was a U.S. Representative from New York. He couldn’t care less.

Well – that was almost the most interesting thing that happened here for the last 200 years – except one story…

On Christmas eve 1933 a young girl arrived very early in the morning. She stayed at Mrs. Judd’s boarding house on Second Street. After a short sleep she dressed in her navy blue skirt, a white blouse and a scarf and left Mrs. Judd headed for the nearby church. At least that’s what she said.

In fact she went into the woods until she reached the railroad tracks and when the next train came by dropped her suitcase and sprinted to jump before it.
She did not reach the train in time. Instead the train knocked her dead, so her body showed no wounds when local authorities found her.

No relatives showed up and her body was brought to the local funeral home. Its owner, James McMahon decided to give the unknown girl a proper funeral. A fund was established for the headstone and the people of Willoughby gathered the money for it in the midst of the Great Depression. 3000 local residents went to her funeral.

For sixty years her identity remained a mystery. In 1993 it was revealed that the “Girl in Blue” was Josephine Klimczak and her belongings were identified by her brother. Lake County records have not changed the death certificate. She is listed as “The Girl in Blue.”
